BIG CARNATIONS.
"rriey Were Cultivated In England In
Shakespeare's Time.
A florist says that we pride ourselves
nowadays on the size of our carna
tions, but the florists of 300 years ago
grew carnations three to four inches
across, as large as any that we see.
and thought nothing of it.
"All through Spain, southern France
and Italy the carnation Is the favorite
flower and has been for hundreds of
3-ears. but along the Mediterranean
there are few glass houses, for iu pro
tected situations and on southers
fdopes of hills even delicate flowen
grow outdoors all winter long am
Moom as freely at Christmas as li
July.
"The big carnations, however, were
not grown In Spain or Italy, but ii;
England outdoors during the summe
time and before glass houses wen
known. , They may have grown just
ns large carnation flowers in Spain as
in England at that time, but in Eng
land there was record made of the
fact and also of the size, while in Spain
1here was not. Shakespeare mentions
carnations and gillyflowers, or July
flowers, together as blooming at the
same season, which shows that the
carnation was then a summer flower,
whereas in our greenhouses it is now
a winter bloomer. Plow the florists of
those days treated the plants to ob
tain blooms of such size nobody knows,
for old time florists grew flowers in
stead of writing books about them. So
all we know Is that they had very
large carnations In Queen Elizabeth's
time without knowing how they were
grown." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HIDDEN TREASURE.
Mew Zealanders Dig For Kauri Gum
In the Ground.
Many New Zealanders find It profit
able to dig for hidden treasure. That
for which they dig, however, is not
gold or Captain Kidd's ill gotten
wealth, though it has a dull yellow
color. It is kauri gum, a resinous sub
stance which is the product Of the
kauri pine tree. The gum can be se
cured from the trunks of trees while
they are alive, for It protrudes In
lumps, but it Is especially profitable
to dig for it in the soil about the
stumps remaining after the trees have
been cnt down. Sometimes chunks
weighing as much as 100 pounds are
taken up from the ground.
Digging for kauri gum is profitable,
for the gum is used In the manufacture
of varnish, and apparently it is one of
those products of nature whose place
cannot be filled by anything else which
bas yet been discovered. It has been
found that it can be used In certain
enamel paints, and this has had the
'(Tect of bringing the demand up to a
point above the supply. '
The kauri pine is a magnificent tree.
It rises as straight as a needle to a
height of from 150 to 200 feet and
ottains at times a diameter of fifteen
feet. It is noted for its dark, dense
foliage and is much used for masts
for vessels constructed for the British
nary.
Chewing and Dyspepsia.
The lean dyspeptic, taking a mouth
ful of chop, chewed it interminably.
"Forty chews," he paused to say,
'for every bite." And his jaws began
to grind again.
"You make me laugh," his compan
ion, a physiologist, returned. "Meat
requires littlt if any, chewing. You
must have wasted a lot of chews in
your time." .
"Co onf
It's true. Vegetables require chew
ing, for they are digested largely by
the alkaline mouth juices, but meat is
digested by the acid stomach juices,
and to chew it more than enough to
make it go down easily does harm In
stead of good. The mouth alkalis, ad
mixing with It, hinder the stomach
ncids work.
"Chew vegetables indefatigably, my
friend, but let your meat slip down tin
ground." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Mention
that an apparently harmless letter may ?
kill 5.uy person who tries to ojen it. A ;
piece of cardboard is cut to a size ;
which, when folded over, will fit into !
an ordinary envelope. The four cor-
ners of this are slit into narrow strips. !
Fulminate of mercury Is spread over j
three of tlie slits, and the sheet is folded
and fastened together. Projecting from j
each side of th2 folded sheet is a little j
metal strip, or detonator, glued to the j
cardboard in such a. manner that the '
envelope cannot be opened without j
striking one of them. t"i ou meeting j

The easiest bomb to construct is set j
In operation by simply turning it up-!
side down. It is usually a good sized'
cracker box, lined with paper and half
filled with a mixture of chlorate of j
potassium and ordinary sugar. Into!
this a bottle of a powerful acid is In
troduced. The remainder of the space
in the box Is fiUed with scraps of metal.
Then the lid is soldered on.
All that is then necessary is to place
the box upside down at the spot in
which it is to explode. The acid eats
quickly through the cork of the bottle
and comes in contact with the chlorate
of potassium. As a result of the chem
ical combination which takes place
there is a terrific explosion. Chicago

The Word "Idiot."
Idiot" is a word with a curious his
tory. In Greek "Idiotes" began by
meaning a private individual, as ap
posed to the state or to a state olheial;
then it meant a nonexpert or layman
and Snally an Ignorant man or an
awkward fellow. It-was left for Eng
lish to carry the meaning further to
mental deficiency. In "Piers Plow
man an "idiot" is an ignorant per
son, and as late as 1G9S it could mean
b person who knew only one language.
Wyclif and Jeremy Taylor used It in
Ihe sense of "layman." and the latter
also in that of "private person." And
n professional "fool" or jester was at
one time an "idiot" too.
Some Notes on "Origins."
"Tlumpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall,"
etc., has come down to us from the
days of Kiug John. "The Babes In the
Wood" dates from the -fifteenth ceu
tury, being founded upon facts, an old
house near Wayland Wood, Norfolk,
having the whole story in carvings on
a mantelpiece. "Little Jack Horner,"
-Little Miss Muffett," "Old Mother
Hubbard," "Mother Goose" and
-Goosey, Goosey Gander," are each
traceable to the sixteenth century.
"Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have
You Been?". belDngs to the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. "Three Blind Mice"
first appeared n a music book dated
1G09. "A Frogie Would a-Wooing Go''
was licensed to be sung as far back as
16G0. -Boys and Girls Come Out to
Play" and "Lucy Locket Lost Her
Pocket" both hail from the period of
Charles II. And last of all, "Cinderel
la," "Jack the Giant Killer," "Blue
beard" and "Tom Thumb" were pub
lished by their author, Charles Per
rault. In the year 1G97. London Notes

Plain Words.
Freeman, the historian. It was said,
was apt to grow Irritable over matters
of intellectual difference. One day he
was at the Macmillaus when the con
versation turned upon the subject of
Ireland. Mr. Macmillan said that, for
his part, he was in favor of granting
autonomy.
Whereupon Freeman began to growl
at the use of a Greek word.
"Why can't you speak English," de
manded he, "and say home rule in
stead of speaking Greek, which you
don't know?"
One of the guests flushed with anger
and ventured to reprove Freeman, call
ing his attention to the respect due
their host and at the same time paying
tribute to Mr. Macmillan's remarkable
abilities. Tir.t. alt'iorrh Freeman did
not apologize in so" many' words, he
smoothed the matter over by a humor
ous repetition of his criticism. Later
some one mentioned gout. "There you
go again!" exclaimed Freeman. "Why
can't wc call it toe woe?"
which took place some time prior to
the actual celebration of marriage.
These esp-; "a-ls consisted in a mutual
promise of marriage, which was made
by the man and woman t before the
bishop .or presbyter and several wit
nesses. After them the articles of agreement
of marriage, called tabuloe matrimo
niales, which are mentioned by Augus
tine, were signed by both persons. Aft
er this the man delivered to the wom
an the ring and other gifts, an action
which was termed subarrhation. In
the latter ages the espousals have al
ways been performed at the same time
as the office of matrimony in all the
churches abroad, and It has long been
customary for the ring to be delivered
to the woman after the contract has
been made, which has always been In
the actual office of matrimony.
The ring Is a special token of spous-
age. In some of the old manuals fori
the use of foreign cathedrals before !
'. the minister proceeds to the marriage j
he is directed to ask the woman's !
dowry viz, the tokens of spousage j
and by these tokens of spousage are !
j to be understood rings or money or j
some other thiugs to be given to the'
woman by the man, which giving is (
j called wedding or covenanting, espe
i cially when it is done by the giving of
i a ring. New York Tribune.

Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.
The sparrow hawk almost invariably
catches a flying bird for its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a blackbird. If it does not
exactly swoop lika the larger hawks,
yet it. must have conditions of chase of
its own choosing. That is why the
small birds usually mob it with impu
nity when they are numerous enough
to bewilder it. o'nee, however, I saw
a sparrow hawk that had been molest
ed for some minutes by a perfect cloud
of green finches dart among them and
secure a victim. One day. I had one of
these birds pointed out as the one
which a few. days earlier had come

There are other sure ways of bring-1

"Huh, you can't buy anything at all!"
said the dollar. "Just look at rae, big
